Default Books on web development


Please suggest me some good books on web development. I know HTML and CSS but I want to learn PHP and server scripting. Basically, I want to hack together my own scripts to do stuff. I'm tired of searching for ready made scripts for every simple tasks, and then realizing that they don't work like the way I want and I can't even tweak them because I don't know how they work.

I need mainly PHP and MySQL. The book should have good number of example codes.

For the record, I have fairly good understanding of C, though I haven't touched it for last 10 years.

JavaScript Cookbook..

JavaScript Bible, 7th Edition


If this Books above look's like little advance then try this Beginning HTML, XHTML, CSS, And Javascript I have used it personally and it is really good for beginners.

check out other books from O'reilly and Wiley Publishers.. check their website for their contents and difficulty level. If possible check this Books locally so.. you can check the individual book explanations on topic.. and then you can choose according to you.

Careful regarding your choice on a PHP/MySQL book. There are some deprecated stuff you need to worry about.

I was also thinking of jumping into PHP+MySQL and I was recommended the book 'Beginning PHP and MySQL: From Novice to Professional' which apparently is a good and fairly updated book to learn from.

Can't help you more as I ended up having to work with Python+Django at my new job.

Here's the link to my older question if interested.

table of contents look's good. from novice to mastering.. IMO.. Nice choice

check the reviews over here..

It has few flaws like..

"Not comprehensive enough"
"Too many errors"

I prefer books because they organize the course through chapters. I know exactly how to proceed, page by page, of course.

With online tutorials I will be just jumping around without really learning anything. Lack of organization is what makes learning on the web difficult. Web tutorials are good when you want to learn about some particular functions, but for a complete course on a subject nothing beats books. And of course, classes.
